Society of Colorado Pioneers

It was formed in 1872 to recognize and support the first Anglo American settlers in Colorado.

In 1859 and 1860, people began arriving in thousands to settle in the mountains, mining camps or valleys.

After 1860, trails were blazed and evidence of civilization had emerged, like newspapers, schools, churches, businesses and other forms of society.

[1] In September 1889, the Woman's auxiliary was organized with 14 members, partly to help meet the Society's goal of assisting pioneers in need.

There were some exceptions, depending on the responsibility but the limitations resulted in "Society of Sons of Colorado" establishment in 1906.
